Supreme Court to weigh bid to end Boulder climate lawsuit
Original: Supreme Court to weigh energy companies' bid to end Boulder climate-change lawsuit
The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider energy companies' request to end a climate-change lawsuit brought by Boulder, Colorado. The case is part of a broader legal fight in which US cities and counties are suing major oil and gas producers over climate-related damages, and the justices' decision could shape whether such lawsuits proceed in state courts.
Why now: The Supreme Court's involvement could set a precedent determining the fate of climate liability lawsuits across the United States.
